I have Alzheimer Disease

How can one tell the difference between the early stages of Alzheimer’s and simple forgetfulness?

My mother is almost 50 years old, and it seems like she’s been forgetting things a lot lately. Every now and then she’ll forget someones name, or won’t remember where she put something, or ask me the same question more than once.

I understand that no one is perfect and that anyone could forget things as simple as what I mentioned above. But where does the line between the possibility of her having Alzheimer’s or simply becoming more forgetful due to age cross? Should I be concerned?
